After the "Lord of the Rings" series, Elijah Wood estimates that it is difficult to get out of the fantasy dreamland, and several works have a sense of spirituality. It is not easy for this short hobbit-like post-80s to enter the "mainstream" of Hollywood commercial films.

"Psychology rules the world," but it's mathematics that really changes the world. As depicted in the movie, only mathematics is true, and philosophy is dead. No matter from which point of view, the deception of philosophy has nothing to do with the authenticity of the original state of mathematics, but when the understanding of mathematics enters a deeper level, mathematical logic can better explain the existence of everything in the world. The mathematician in "A Beautiful Mind" literally uses mathematical means to create all the tricks and possibilities in his mind, and I still remember the high school math teacher saying, "A correct mathematical proposition must be a beautiful mathematical proposition. ". The essence of nature is mathematics, or logic. In theory, the existence of mathematics has nothing to do with human beings, but I can't explain why there are so many ugly people who abandon mathematical principles and exist, but it is a movie script or a real mathematician. , cannot be explained.

The tone and atmosphere of the film are very mysterious, which is absolutely qualified for a suspense film, but the interpretation of mathematics and philosophy is too rough at the beginning. Later, in order to pursue the plot, I can only focus on the case and the decryption itself. I feel a little bit. Some are not enjoyable. And the ending of the movie is not unexpected, at least not as subversive as Agatha, but not as boring as a book by Dan Brown (like "Digital Fortress"). The mystery of the case is far less exciting than cryptography itself.
